Which one is better in tag <strong> and <b> according SEO?

Hello SEO's,

<strong> and <b> do same work in coding but according to SEO which one better ?

I'm willing to confirm by your views..


Make your reply..

 

<b> is better for seo

 

It's such a negligible factor that it really doesn't matter. I mostly use <strong> because its the default tag for bolding words in wordpress.

 

Explain?

I've always gone with <strong> and <em>. Not because I think it effects SEO, I don't believe it is even a factor.
But for screen readers, when blind people are surfing the web - screen readers will put more emphasis on phrases within the <em> and <strong> tags.

As they not only for appearance (unlike the <b> tag), they are also there to indicate what parts of the text are important.

 

People have different views in this regard - In my opinion <b> is better, From seo point of view, On page optimization view <b> is recommended. There might be different explanation for using <b> and <strong> both serve the same purpose, but in my opinion it really matters when it comes to on page seo for your site. tag <strong> only make some word/phrase like bold not Bold....both are different.

 

Could you please explain your reasoning? I'm interested to see why people think this.

 

Hi Umesh,

I don't think so that more effective tag <b> rather than <strong> tag.

 

I would recommend watching the "Design Code" rap video on Youtube for insight. I would provide the link but don't have enough posts to provide it.

 

Both tags are the same function but <b> tag is better than <strong>
